     I'm not a C-guru so don't flame me but what is this code supposed to
do if it works properly ?  I compiled this code two different ways on my
Sys V/AT 2.3U system.

	1. cc -o test test.c -lm
	2. cc -o test test.c

     When I run test, it just returns the cursor. No error, no nothing.
Is this correct ?  I've tried supplying an argument to "test" and it
still just returns the cursor. I might add that my machine has a 80287
installed.
